Type of Course: NA
Prerequisite:Students are expected to have basic knowledge of analog and digital electronics .
Rationale:In the field of Electronics, it is essential to know the functional aspects of several instruments
useful in the process of signal measurement. Prior to the measurement, the process of signal conversion to
equivalent electrical quantity and conversion of electrical quantify in one or the other forms are important
steps. The fundamentals of signal measurement in analog as well as digital domains both need to be
emphasized for modern instruments.
